Beigl 1,387 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I am really disapointed with the result,but I think after the international break it´s time to concentrate on the QPR away game,the Rangers have a lot of quality in their squad right now.

Buffalo talks Blue 85 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Definitely a very poor performance from the blues. Our defense looked very sloppy. Atletico looked focused from the very first minute of the game. They clearly didn't wanted to miss a single chance of winning this game which is why they ripped us apart. At least we scored one goal. That's still better than watching a 0-4 scoreboard! The boys have tried but it just wasn't our night. Let's all hope we can bounce back from this defeat and play extraordinary football once again. Good luck Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Falcao, what a player he is. That's what 50m should buy you. Torres isn't even half the player Falcao is.Terrible performance last night from everybody. Was embarrassed watching that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django 83 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I never said they would. But it was still a pathetic, embarrasing and horrible performance. And this was actually an important game. First of all we've never won that title, and if we would of, it would have been historic.I hate joke fans like this. And I don't care if you didn't support the team in 1998, if you want to talk like this you should at least have some knowledge of the club's history. Stuff like this gives our fanbase a bad name and furthers the idea that CFC begin (and will end) with Roman. Absolute joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still stand by the fact that it was an embarresement though.And dont you even dare call me a joke fan.

tawee75 39 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 It looks like someone in the Chelsea management is on drugs.1. Seems the team just loan players out without any plan. It is just not wise to be playing Bertrand in the attack during crucial games when Debruyne could have easily play that role perfectly.2. Why loan Essien and Bena when these guys are not getting younger. Are we going to use them when they are in their 30s? If you do not need them, then why not sell them. By the way, what better qualities RDM sees in mikel that everyone fails to see.3. Why always Lampard instead of Oscar or Mecharean? why should we loan a talented youngster to another team when he can perform better than others. Macheran would easily be a regular in the Arsenal team.4. God forbid, if torres is injured we have only danny as a striker. No serious team wins with only a striker in the squad. Were Hulk, Schurle and Cavani the only strikers in Europe during the transfer period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajo 176 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I didn't expect to watch such a poor and embarrassing game tbh. It's hard to find any positives aspects in our yesterday performance we have been destroyed by Falcao and his team-mates I don't remember when we were playin so poor last time, arsenal at home ? LFC away ?RDM got around 2 weeks to sort things out and improve our tactics and also I hope that yesterday game will be a good lesson for our players. Well done Atletico.

laura90 556 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 In 4 2 3 1 formation we improved attacking mids/wingers.We didn't improve double pivot role ( no quality DM, no genuine playmaker who can retain the ball and dictate the game).We didn't improve our striker options.We kinda improved our defence, but only if Azpi is indeed good enough to become a starter.In my opinion, in 4 2 3 1 we significantly improved only 3 behind the striker, which is good, but won't win us tough games single handedly.We will see the best of our attackers, against difficult and easier opponents, only when we get world class DM/ playmaker and striker capable to convert their chances on regular bases. That is not the case now, so we should lower our expectations. I'm sure we will improve in January window and don't forget these players need time to gel.This is transitional period no club can avoid when is trying to change almost complete team in such a short term.My prediction is that we will fight with Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs for 2 CL places. With Real as CL winner, 4th place would be fantastic achievement, for this season. That is not me saying our team sucks. We have decent team with couple of talented players. Great, talented players like Hazard, Mata, Oscar are able to make their team mates better. But for that we need expert manager who is able to recognize strengths and weaknesses of each player and incorporate them into a whole with proper formation and tactics. And I wouldn't put RDM in that category. Not because of titles he won. Because of experience and consistency in good results he does not have , despite the titles he won.Like it or not, we have team in transition and learning manager this season. Results will be consistent with that. As long as we are in top four, we are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I hope this game was a wake up call for RDM, mostly that Ramires cant be used at the RW and that our double pivot is worrying.Oscar, Moses, Cesar: These guys have to be given playtime asap and establish themselfes in the team. They will be VITAL to us.Marin: Obviousley the same when he recovered.Romeu: Whats going on with this guy? Obviousley we kept him this transfer window, so I hope he will be playing asap.CechIva - Cahill - Terry - ColeRomeu - OscarMoses - Mata - HazardTorresPerhaps Im abit optimistic about the double pivot, could be Ramires+Mikel also. And Oscar might just be used as CAM.I have faith that when those players are established in the team, we will start seeing some more magic.

francozola 2,040 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 The biggest bummer for me is that we now have to wait an entire week before our next game. Ideally I would have liked to see us play again ins 3-4 days.Instead, we'll carry this for a while now. A game that quick would have forced Di Matteo to make some changes (Azpilicueta, Moses, Oscar in. Ivanovic, Ramires, Lampard out) whereas now I have my doubts on whether they will happen.My biggest concern going into this season, and still remains to be Di Matteo himself. His tactics yesterday were poor, substitutions horrendous. Willing to let it go as a one-off but I'm still unconvinced (simply because he hasnt had a chance to show it yet) whether he will be willing to make hard decisions if they prove to be necessary. Also I'm sick of seeing Ramires at RW jfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't understand why he waited till the 80th minute to make the second substitution and then later Bertrand for Cole? What was that for?!!
